State Bank Of India vs M/S. B.S. Agricultural Industries(I) on 20 March, 2009
We subscribe to the contention raised on behalf of the
appellants. Admittedly, the alternative
plot was allotted to the complainant on 12.08.1998 and the instant complaint
was filed on 07.06.2005 i.e. after about seven years whereas the limitation for
filing complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (as amended upto date)
has been prescribed as two years. It has been settled in catena of judgments
that if the complaint is barred by limitation, it cannot be entertained. Hence,
the complaint filed by the complainant on this ground is not maintainable. Reference
in this case is made to case law cited as State
Bank of India v. B.S. Agricultural Industries, 2009 CTJ 481 (SC) (CP) =JT
2009(4) SC 191, wherein it has been held that:-
Suraj Lamp & Industries (P) Ld.Tr.Dir vs State Of Haryana & Anr on 11 October, 2011
The facts of the instant case are fully attracted to Suraj Lamp &
Industries Pvt. Ltd. versus State of Haryana and another case (Supra). In the instant case the complainant has
deputed Raj Kumar son of Shri Anshi Ram, Resident of House No.105, Sector-17, Faridabad
as her G.P.A. We have perused the G.P.A. on the record of the District Consumer
Forum at page 37. The complainant has not disclosed her relationship with the
G.P.A. Raj Kumar. Power of Attorney even authorizes the G.P.A. to transfer,
sell, and mortgage etc the plot. More so, the complainant has not mentioned in
the G.P.A. that she is not satisfied with the allotment of the alternative
plot. Admittedly, the complainant is resident of Moga (Punjab) whereas the
G.P.A. is resident of Faridabad
(Haryana) where the plot is situated. Thus, the facts and circumstances of the
case clearly reflect that this case is the lust of securing the plot by G.P.A. of
his own choice who is a property dealer and this clever device of the
complainant cannot be allowed to sustain. We, therefore, are of the view that
once the alternative plot No. 638 Sector-45, Faridabad has been accepted by the
complainant Santosh Gupta, cannot be allowed to take the other plot of the
choice of G.P.A. for the reasons best known to them. Thus, the complaint filed
by the complainant through G.P.A. is not maintainable.
The Consumer Protection Act, 1986
State Of Nagaland vs Lipok Ao & Ors on 1 April, 2005
While dealing with the application for condonation of
delay, it is not disputed that the delay cannot be condoned on the ground of
equity and generosity, but at the same time it is to be taken into consideration
that in case of any legal infirmity is committed by the District Consumer Forum
while passing the impugned order which is apparent on record, the same cannot
be allowed to continue as it would amount to no order in the eyes of law. Reference is made to the observation made by
the Honble Supreme wherein it has been
held that when the substantial justice and technical approach are pitted
against each other, the former has to be performed. It has further been held
that the words Sufficient Cause
have to be interpreted to advance the cause of justice. The Honble Apex Court
in case cited as State of Nagaland Vs. Lipok A.O. and others, 2005(3) SCC
752 has held as under:-
Section 5 in The Limitation Act, 1963 [Entire Act]
New India Insurance Co. Ltd vs Smt. Shanti Misra, Adult on 10 October, 1975
In New India Assurance Co. Ltd. Vs. Shanti
Misra (1975)(2) SCC (840) this Court held that
discretion given by Section 5 should not be defined or crystallized so as to
convert a discretionary matter into a rigid rule of law. The expression
sufficient cause should receive a liberal construction.
